[SOLVED] What kind of Cable would I need to run my 1920x1080 144hz monitor at 144hz ? ( I have a MSI GTX 970 ) , the monitor is a LG 27MK600M

So here's the model of the monitor, https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27MK600M-B-led-monitor

I'm not sure what kind of cable would help me run it at 144hz at its full potential, so any guides or suggestions would be great to hear.

Thanks in advance people!

Everything I can find is that monitor is a 75Hz refresh rate monitor not 144Hz.

Going from your supplied link the only option you have is HDMI. It doesn't say what level of HDMI it has so I'm not sure if you even have the type of HDMI needed to hit 144. Your link also doesn't say what the refresh rate (at least it doesn't say in the specs.) is so assuming Jimmy is right you can't hit 144Hz. I'd just get an HDMI cable and get the best you can.

I actually found that the monitor supports HDMI 1.4 which would be capable of 144Hz for 1080 but as I have been looking everything keeps saying it only supports 75Hz refresh rates.

That's right. It's not a 4k monitor. I forgot.

As my first post said, your only real option is HDMI. So just use that.
